' TOY.

- Application filed-July. 31,

To all whom it may concern:

I Be it known that I, 'Fnnn HUBIO, a citizen of Ukrainia, residing atPelly, Province of Saskatchewan, and Dominion of Canada, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is aspecification.

This .invention relates to toys, having more particularlyreference totoys of the type in which a plurality of manikins or other figures arecaused to execute certain movements.

The invention has for its principal .object the provision of anovel andinexpensive toy of this type for the amusement of children.

More specifically, the invention has for its object to provide a toy inwhich a number of boy dolls are made to execute various movements uponthe operation of a see-saw carrying two of said. dolls.

A further object of the invention isthe provision of a wood saw adaptedto be perated by two of-the boy dolls upon the operation of the see-saw.

For the further comprehension of themvention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the followingdescriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims inwhich the various novel features of the invention are more particularlyset forth.

In the drawings- 7 Figure 1 is a side view of the toy constructedaccording to the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the base for the toy seen along the line2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section along line 3-3 of is illustrated the toy comprises abase 10 consisting of a frame having two longitudinal bars 11 and 11,connected by cross bars 12 and 13, which in turn are. connected by acentral bar 14 parallel to bars 11 and 11.

At the front end of the base a gallows 15 is secured with its lower endsto the inner faces of the parallel bars 11 and 11' and the cross-bar 13.At some distance from the base the gallows forms the'support for a crankarm 16, the ends of which are extended beyond the outer faces of thegallows and, at one side, one end of a saw 17 is secured to theextension of the arm 16.

The hands 18 of the arms 19 of a boyor toy figure 20 standing upon theupper edge Specification of Letters Patent; 7

of the bar 11 are secured to the arm 16 to both sides of the saw 17 Theopposite end of this saw is gripped between the, hands 21 of a toyfigure 21', also standing uponthe upper edge of the bar 11. The saw isworking upon the operation ofthe crank arm 16 by means of the handle 22against a wooden block 23 suitably restingfupon a support or'post 24 a iTo the crank 25 of the armbetween the posts 26 and 27 of the gallows, awire or cable 28 is secured with .one end, the upper end of which isfastened to the underface'of a see-saw 29. near its front end. At thisend of the board of the see-saw a. toy figure .30 issupported by theboard while another toy figure representing a boy 31 is support: inghimself on the board.

This end of the see-saw 29 is connected bya wire .32 to another crankarm 33 between the posts 26 and 27, of the gallows above the first namedarm. 16. To both sides of the connection between wire. 32 and arm 33 thehands 34 of a toy figure 35 are. secured, the legs 36 ,ofwhich carryfeet secured to both-sides of the wire 28 of the arm 16. f r

. To'th e opposite extension of the arm 16 a wire or cable 38 is securedconnected with its free endto an arm 39 rectangularly bent andv guidedwith its vertical member within a guide post 40 resting upon the bar 11"The wire or arm 39 is extended through the post, and atoy figure 41 onthe central bar 14 hasits hands connected by a wire42 to the pointofconnection of wire 32 with the see-saw. Another figure 43in rear offigure 41 is provided with a laterally extending wire 44 which isrectangularly bent and vertically extending through the toy figure 43 tocarry the upper movable part of its body. Another toy figure 45 in rearof figure 43 has also a lateral extending wire 46 rectangularly bent andextending with its vertical member through the body of the figure 45 tocarry its movable head 46 upon its upper end. The lateral wires 44 and46 are connected by a common rod 47 to the exten sion of wire 39 at thelower end of the post 40.

From the foregoing description it will be clear that upon the operationof the crank handle 22 the figures 20 and 21' will with their arms andhands imitate the sawing operation of the saw '17 while simultaneouslythe see-saw will be operated,

which in turn will operate the figure 35 to v account of the turningmove ent f th upper part of its-body will hit with its hands the ears ofthe figure 41in front of the same, and the figure. 45 will turn its headto the right and left.

In this manner a very amusing toy for childrenhas been created and whileI have illustrated the preferred form of my toy, it

will be clear that a great many changes may be made in the minor detailsthereof and in the make up of the toy figures andtheir positions withoutdeparting from. the scope and spirit of my invention. 71 r Having thusdescribed my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States is- 1. A toy of the characterdescribed comprising in combination, a base,a' gallows at one end ofsaid base, a see-saw near the top end of said gallows, a saw mountedupon a separate support near the foot of said gallows, two toyfigures'on said Seesaw, and two figures operating said saw,

- means for operating said see-saw and said saw from a commonop eratinghandle, and a plurality of toy figures in rear ofisaid gallows adaptedto be operated by the operation of said first namedoperating means toexecute various movements. a

2. A toy'of the character described, com-" prising in combination, aframe-base, a gallows erected near the end of said base, a see-saw nearthe upper end of said gallows, two toy figures supported by said see sawnear the ends thereof, a post near the lower end of said gallows, ablock ofwood on said post, a saw adapted to work against saidblock, twotoy figures-one at each end of said saw connected therewith, and commonoperating means for saidsaw operating figures andsaid see-saw, aplurality of other toy figures at the rear end of -said base, and meansfor imparting to said last named toy figures varying movement upon theoperation of said'first named operating means.

3. A toy of the character described comprisingin combination aframe-base, a gallows on said base, a wood saw and see-saw, figuresonsaid see-saw and figures operating said wood saw, a pair of crank arms,a crank for operating one of said arms, connections between said cranksand said seesaw and the other crank toy figures on said see-saw and atboth ends of said wood saw, a toy figure having its hands connected tothe connection between see-saw and one of said crank arms, and its feetconnected to the connection. between saidy.-first named crank and saidsee-saw, and'a plurality of other toy figures on the rear of said frame,and means for impartingto said lastnamed figures a variety of motionsupon the operation of said. crank.
